Red Shawl/Poncho/Cowl

I finished my Red Project early last week, but didn't have a chance to take and upload the pictures until today. As I mentioned in previous posts, I didn't have enough yarn to make this the way I'd planned, but I think this will work out just fine.

When I realized I wasn't going to have enough yarn I had to change my idea, and instead loom knit this as a long rectangle.

I joined about 5" of each end together, then did a single crochet order around the bottom and neck edge. Thankfully I had enough yarn left to do that - there sure wasn't much left when I was finished! Like a single 12" strand. Yikes!

Because the yarn was so chunky (a #6) the shawl/poncho/cowl is nice and cozy. I can wear it several different ways, and I plan on making good use out of it on chilly evenings or if we are at our cabin. I'm always cold if we are downstairs watching TV so this will be just the thing to stave off those cold drafts..

I'm scrambling now to finish up a loom knit lap afghan for my Dad for Christmas.

**Note, at this point I am not going to move my loom knit projects from Altered Scrapbooking
over to this blog. If you are curious, look to the labels on the right
side of that blog and you can click on Loom Knitting, or Knifty Knitter
to see those earlier projects.

About Me

I have had a love affair with paper and scissors as long as I can remember. Card stock, stickers, stamps, ink, dies ... I love it all. I took up Loom Knitting in 2011 and also really enjoy knitting without needles so started a blog to share my creations with others. On a road trip in 2015, I stumbled across Zentangle and was immediately hooked. Instead of combining my Zentangle with my card posts, I have now started a blog for that as well!
I live in Alberta Canada, with my DH and 2 furry kids.
Note, I made the background for my Loom Knitting and Card blogs using papers from digital kits by Gina Cabrera at Digital Design Essentials.
